This meeting will now come to or- der! said Paul Evans. This is what was heard every Friday morning at 7:30 a.m. by the half awake members of the Student Council as they began their meeting. The students located their seats and began to listen to the proposals that were on the agenda. Most of the ideas put forth were ways to get the student body motivated and into school spirit. This group was re- sponsible for all the activities during Homecoming Week, sponsored all the dances, responsible for many cooper- ative efforts between the school and the community, and the Spring Fling and Carnival. THE THINKER . . . Deep in thought, Michael Cozad looks over the minutes of the last meeting. ORGANIZATIONS If rv f ,f Y Tracks toward greater success The Council consisted of the class officers and all of the at large mem- bers. The at-large positions were voted on by the student body. Qualifications to be on the Student Council were that one had to maintain above a C average and a desire to promote a positive atti- tude toward the school. The officers met each day during second period and planned and put into action all the activities voted on by the Council. The officers also were responsible for maintaining the Coke machines. About half of the period each day was spent filling the machines and count- ing the money from them. Vice-Presi- dent Adriana Tejeda said, I like fill- ing the machines. At first I thought I'd get tired of it but it's fun. My only regret is being the last ti finish every- day. All monies from the machines went into the Council's account to help support their many projects. Besides the machines, the officers also had to keep the announcements on the out- side marquee current and write the minutes from the last meeting and plan for the next meeting on Friday. Without this organization in school the students would have no imput as to the activities of the school nor would there be any school functions to at- tend. ,gg 13 l I Treasurer, S.

Would you like to buy a newspa- per? This questions was heard every other Friday by the student body as they sat in their third period classes and the members of the Indian Echo invaded their room to sell their prized literature. During fifth period the newspaper journalism room was crammed with editors and reporters. Lori Godbold, senior photography edi- tor, stated, To put together a good newspaper you have to attend all school functions, concentrate on clear photographs, and make everyone feel a ----1-an A .E Y .-- . t f- pgsttttg fi rt t sa - X -I - rgi' t X x B . PECKING HER LIFE AWAY . . . Tammie Moore, studying an article, lets her fingers do the walking for the newspaper. ORGANIZATIONS Bfi HE I COOU A reporter's work is never done part of the newspaper. In order to maintain the high pace once school started, much of the basic work was done in the summer. It all began at the summer journalism workshop where the editors redesigned the look and format of the newspaper. One of the major changes was the headline and graphic titles. Also, due to the old printer not being able to print our pa- per anymore, a new printer had to be found. The paper was printed in Ad- dison. The newspaper was a good source of school events and happen- ings, information about our society, and also the entertainment in the Me- troplex. Cary Redman, senior report- er, proudly stated, I'm doing much better than before In general I contribute to the paper any way I can. Sjonja Smith, sports editor, said I'm in charge of all the people, mak- ing sure that all deadlines are met any my section is up to proper standardsf' The newspaper is taking a slow ap- proach to changes, but hoping by the end of the year the paper will be on a high journalistic level.
